What's the actual population of the Green server?

To answer the original question, when the server population shows 1,000 I would guess ~400-500 unique players. Some people follow the single-box rule, however, there are a lot of people who don't care. It's loosely enforced because the GMs appreciate the inflated population #s. Most of my family and friends have already quit due to the very disappointing end game on Green.

This is completely incorrect. I would subtract like a third of the population of EC as tunnel mules (maybe being boxed or just people tunnel questing) so that’s like 50 people. Then I would say there’s probably like another 50-100 characters that are boxed throughout the world (and that’s total, not 100 people playing an additional character making 200. Its 50 people playing an additional character making it 100). That’s just my rough estimate.

GMs don’t loosely enforce the boxing rules at all. The only reason I speculate it could be as high as 100 is my theory is there could be people out just XPing in remote corners of the world where no one comes across them and pays them any mind/thinks to watch and report them. Or people playing solo characters in different zones. But if you report boxing the GMs will for sure enforce it hard, there’s so much evidence of this fact. Don’t insult the staff by acting like they don’t enforce the rule because they care about some number on a screen.
